Spirit-Devouring Beasts
Because Jiang Youfu would specially pack a meal for him and bring it over every day without knocking or disturbing him.
But as soon as a food container appears outside the door, it will inevitably disappear within a short while.
Then they'll reappear outside the door at some unknown time.
However, whenever the food box disappeared and reappeared, it was so empty that there wasn't even a drop of oil left.
The people of the Lingxian Sect all had the misconception that Lin Xiao had gone into seclusion again.
However, Lin Xiao's seclusion this time will require meals to be provided.
--
While everyone in the Lingxian Sect was extremely busy...
Far away on the road from the Immortal Cultivation Realm to the Mortal Realm, the group was ambushed by a group of Spirit-Devouring Beast.
These Spirit-Devouring Beast beasts varied greatly in size and shape, Dayou as large as ten meters tall, others no bigger than an ordinary wolfhound.
Moreover, their shapes are very irregular and inconsistent, some are round and some are flat, and their bodies are covered in black liquid that drips down.
It looks disgusting.
They hissed at the group of people surrounded in the center, their large mouths opening and closing, black, viscous liquid stretching between their lips.
A black, foul odor erupted from their mouths, making the people surrounding them feel dizzy.
There were ten people in the group, all of whom possessed cultivation.
The lowest cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, while the highest cultivation level was already at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
Nevertheless, these ten people were somewhat helpless against a group of Spirit-Devouring Beast.
It's not because these Spirit-Devouring Beast are particularly powerful.
In fact, the Spirit-Devouring Beast is nothing more than a low-level Demon Beast that has not developed intelligence. If there is only one, Foundation Establishment cultivator would have more than enough power to deal with it.
Not to mention that this group also included cultivators at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
But as the saying goes, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.
Right now, these cultivators have almost no Spiritual Power left in their bodies.
The Spiritual Power they have left is insufficient to support them in eliminating the large number of Spirit-Devouring Beast around them.
Perhaps some people actually have enough Spiritual Power.
For example, that cultivator who reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
His name is Yao Yuchang, and he is the second elder of the Three Aspects Peak of the Azure Frost Sect in the Mysterious Extreme Domain.
This time, I'm in charge of leading a team to the Mortal Realm to investigate the Execution Stone incident that occurred three years ago at the North-South Territory Talisman Master Assembly.
The ten cultivators who went to the Mortal Realm this time were all from major sects in several spiritual domains.
After all, it concerns the Execution Stone, and small sects have no say in it, while large sects don't trust them either.
However, because the level of cultivation in the Mortal Realm was too low, the major sects felt it was unnecessary to send out their own Spirit Transformation or even Void Returning Realm elders.
Therefore, they would send out some trustworthy individuals who held some status and power within their own sect, but whose cultivation levels were relatively low.
The ten people had never been to the Mortal Realm before, and all their knowledge of the Mortal Realm came from recent inquiries.
Because their region is different from the North and North-South Territory North-South Territory, which are directly connected to the road leading to the Mortal Realm.
Every now and then, a few cultivators who have achieved great success in their cultivation and have successfully transitioned from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Cultivation Realm will appear.
Therefore, the North-South Territory have a better understanding of the Mortal Realm.
Other regions that want to know basically rely on Myriad Connections's information channels.
But obviously, no cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation Realm would be so bored as to bother learning about the affairs of the Mortal Realm.
Therefore, these ten people originally thought that going to the Mortal Realm would be a very simple matter.
Of course, they weren't unprepared.
They had all spent several hundred Spirit Stone from Myriad Connections to learn the direction of the Mortal Realm, and also learned that there was no Spiritual Qi on the road leading to the Mortal Realm.
They simply believed that the so-called lack of Spiritual Qi was merely a deficiency or thinness of Spiritual Qi.
But to my surprise, it turned out to be a completely Spiritless Land!
Moreover, there are a large number of spirit -Spirit-Devouring Beast here that abhor Spiritual Qi!
Once they smell the Spiritual Qi, they will swarm around it and drain Spiritual Qi clean, leaving their living environment devoid of Spiritual Qi.
So now, these ten cultivators are facing a situation where the Spiritual Qi they have left in their bodies is dwindling as they use it.
Along the way, they went from being carefree and recklessly squandering their Spiritual Qi to becoming more frugal and thrifty.
The Spirit Gathering Pill that everyone brought are running low.
But who knows how far the road ahead goes?
Given the current situation, no one dares to use their Spiritual Qi any more.
After all, they not only had to guard against the Spirit-Devouring Beast, but also against their nine other teammates.
However, the surrounding Spirit-Devouring Beast were clearly getting impatient and were about to launch an attack on the group of cultivators.
The situation was urgent. Yao Yuchang glanced at the other nine people, then stared at the one with the lowest cultivation level and the youngest age —the Golden Core Early Stage cultivator—and spoke up:
"He Yi, this whole thing was started by your Talisman Sect. Now everyone's Spiritual Qi is almost depleted, and we need to conserve it for our own survival. As a disciple of the Talisman Sect, shouldn't you step forward and think of a solution?"
Upon hearing this, He Yi, whose He Yi had been called out, glanced at Yao Yuchang with indifferent eyes.
He gave a barely perceptible, soft hum, as if mocking, but it vanished before anyone could hear it. Then everyone heard him say:
"Alright, since Elder Yao has spoken, I, a mere Golden Core disciple of the Talisman Sect, dare not disobey."
As he spoke, everyone saw him raise his hand and wave it, releasing talismans that shimmered with golden light with graceful movements.
One after another, high-grade talismans were applied to the foreheads of each Spirit-Devouring Beast as if they were free. Then, He Yi lightly snapped his fingers.
Before the Spirit-Devouring Beast could react, all the talismans detonated in an instant!
Dust billowed everywhere.
Soil and rocks on the ground were blasted and flew everywhere.
The Spirit-Devouring Beast's sticky, black body was also blasted into pieces.
The powerful explosion had such a strong impact that the other nine cultivators had to use their Spiritual Power to protect themselves.
Several cultivators who were slower to react were caught off guard and had their faces splattered with liquid from the explosion of the Spirit-Devouring Beast's body.
"He Yi! You did this on purpose!"
Someone shouted angrily.
"Is it really necessary to use so many high-level Explosive Flame Talisman to kill these Spirit-Devouring Beast?!"
Some people remained silent, but they all thought to themselves, "Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this. Everyone says that the people of the Talisman Sect are foolish and rich, and it's true!"
He Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at everyone with an innocent expression:
"Sorry everyone, I'm covered in these Explosive Flame Talisman."
Yao Yuchang He Yi, secretly looking down on this prodigy of the Talisman Sect.
Pooh!
What prodigy?
It was simply Spirit Stone used by the wealthy and powerful Talisman Sect.
He's just a fake prodigy who thinks he has great potential just because he has a sect leader as his father.
However, they had already been on their journey for a year, and they couldn't afford to waste any more time on the road. He needed to hurry to the Mortal Realm to investigate and then return to his sect as soon as possible.
